A Supreme Court more interested in playing politics than faithfully upholding the Constitution is one that will lose Americansâ trust. If there was any doubt left that a majority of Supreme Court justices are more interested in playing politics than upholding Americansâ constitutional rights, it was all flushed down the drain following the Monday release of the high courtâs weekly order list. A week after refusing to defend the free speech rights of a Massachusetts minor, the nationâs highest court declined to take up two pertinent cases involving the Second Amendment. As The Federalistâs Jordan Boyd reported, one involved a...

June 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a challenge to the legality of state restrictions on assault-style rifles and large-capacity ammunition magazines, passing up for now cases that offered the justices a chance to further expand gun rights. The justices turned away two appeals after lower courts upheld a ban in Maryland on powerful semi-automatic rifles such as AR-15s and one in Rhode Island restricting the possession of ammunition feeding devices holding more than 10 rounds. The lower courts rejected arguments that the measures violate the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment right to "keep and...

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Biden-era federal regulations on âghost guns,â mail-order kits that allow people to build untraceable weapons at home â handing gun control groups a rare win at the conservative high court. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a 7-2 majority that included both liberal and conservative justices in one of the most closely watched Supreme Court cases of the year. âPerhaps a half hour of work is required before anyone can fire a shot,â Gorsuch wrote. âBut even as sold, the kit comes with all necessary components, and its intended function as instrument of...

Former President Trumpâs chances of winning back the White House have soared in recent days â pitching Democrats into a stew of panic and despair. A week ago Democrats clung to several hopes, only to see each of them dashed in a period shorter than 90 hours. They believed President Biden could use an early first debate to prove his vigor and acuity. They thought the debate would focus votersâ minds on the perils of a potential second Trump presidency. And they hoped Trump might find himself on trial for Jan. 6-related offenses before November. None of it happened. Bidenâs...

Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton The Supreme Court's recent rulings were sadly predictable for anyone who understands the hard-right agenda. Their goal has always been to install Justices whose job is to turn back the clock on our freedoms, on decades of constitutional decisions, and on our continuing struggle to âform a more perfect unionâ that includes all of us. Let's vote out their political enablers and rein in the dark, subversive money that supports them in their quest to reverse a century of progress.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said that he has a âpretty goodâ idea who was behind the leak of the courtâs decision on overturning Roe v. Wade â and that the leak made the justices targets for possible assassination. Alito, who authored the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Womenâs Health Organization decision that ruled there is no constitutional right to abortion, made the comments in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. âI personally have a pretty good idea who is responsible, but thatâs different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody,â Alito said: âIt was a...
